from Colin Garvey
"I was desperately saddened to hear this news. He was a great priest and a great Xaverian. I remember his sermon on Remembrance Sunday a few years ago, when he remembered the bombs falling on Clapham Common, and him being scared to death.
May he rest in peace.

from Eddie O'Brien
"Michael was a great man. He never lost that common touch. Deeply devoted to his vocation and never forgot where he was from. He was one of us. Always pleased to attend our functions when he could. May he rest in peace".

from David Leathem
